No boat, no boss, no safe guarantee
Just heat, just blood, just you needing me
You laughed at the tape with the knots and the fire
Called every useful thing awkward desire
You sold me a ladder, then sawed off the rungs
Smiled through the meeting with knives in your lungs
You had all the charm in a polished room
But charm can’t stitch up an open wound
Now every rule that you wrote in the air
Burns in the wreckage and leaves you there
The sky went black
The cabin went white
Your little crown caught fire in flight
No board, no brand, no golden key
Just salt in your throat when you call for me
Now you need me
Funny how the island agrees
Now you need me
Starving mad and begging on your knees
I kept you alive
You refuse to unpack
But now you need me
And there’s no going back…
The ocean keeps eating your executive tone
You want a committee, I want you alone
Two days of thirst put a god in the sand
A boss becomes bone when he reaches his hand
I found the far beach with the lights still on
Kept that little sunrise gone
A boat in the blue like a door in a dream
And I let it pass clean, I let it pass clean
The sky went black
The cabin went white
Your little crown caught fire in flight
No board, no brand, no golden key
Just salt in your throat when you call for me
Now you need me
Funny how the island agrees
Now you need me
Starving mad and begging on your knees
I kept you alive
You refuse to unpack
But now you need me
And there’s no going back…
"This is your captain speaking"
"Put your face down in the sand"
"The island has no managers"
YOUR BLOOD IS IN MY HANDS
Call me cruel
Call me queen
With your life in my hands
You will crawl to me
Bright walls, red spray
The easy way out was a room away
Empty shotgun, skull gets cracked
The only way out, a final impact
Now you need me
Funny how the island agrees
Now you need me
Starving mad and begging on your knees
I kept you alive
You want your old life intact
But now you need me
And there’s no going back…
